Rumors: Big Name Coaches

"Big Name" Coaches - Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2008/01/big_name_coaches.html#comments)

"There are all kind of rumors and speculation going around about the Redskins pursuing a name coach and shocking everyone with their choice. Could be. With Dan Snyder running the show you never say never."

JLC is picking up a bit of a scent that Snyder may be trying to do something big. *Sigh*

But who the heck could we be pursuing who would qualify as a big name? JLC says Cowher's still not interested. Same with Pete Carroll (if he's even a big name). People thought about Vermeil, but Jason Reid touched base with him and it's not true. Then JLC thought about Jimmy Johnson. He's retired, and probably wants to stay retired.

Who else? I can't think of any other big names. John Madden? But that's equally laughable.

Whatever, I think this is all an overblown crock of crap, but figured I'd pass it on.

Mike Ditka is a big name coach without a coaching job at the moment...

Same with Barry Switzer...

BTW, they both won Super Bowl rings.

Dennis Green is still out there.

Maybe the Walrus wants to call it a day in Seattle and collect some big time green stuff here in DC?

Maybe he'll hire Sonny and Sam as co-head coaches?

Who knows what evil lurks in the mind of Danny Boy? The Shadow knows...

The WashTimes says the mystery candidate has been interviewed twice. Apparently he is an NFL assistant. Why the big secret, and who is he?

Must not be much going on for JLC tonight.

Early on JLC was all hot saying Cowher then he changed his tune to Schwartz then Mora and finally GW. I'm losing my faith in him or he's got so bad connections, maybe he needs to hire Justin Farga's dad (the one and only HUGGYBEAR). Adam Shefter is the same, Garrett going to Baltimore, blah,blah,blah. I like the way people like Garrett, are making this NFL insiders look like fools. I say GW is still the man, anything else by Snyder would be a screw up as far as continuity goes. This NFL insider/experts are like the paparazzi chasing Britney "trailer trash" Spears around.

I was glad Mora pulled out. I don't trust Snyder to make a solid decision here. We can't afford to take another step backwards. Turner, Robiskie, Shottenheimer, Spurrier, Gibbs. Too many coaches in too short a time and his previous picks Shottenheimer and Spurrier were dubious at best. I wish Gibbs would have stayed as president and made this decision for Snyder. It would have been madeby now.

Charlie Weis?

This is starting to get ugly. At this rate, next years Redskins are going to be closer to "Batman and Robin" as opposed to "The Dark Knight."

Shottenheimer, ... Shottenheimer

Funny that you named him twice, and his name has been rumored as the mystery man on HailRedskins.com forum.

LDS played it close to the vest the last three hires, and the reveal was not the rumored to be coach every time!

In addition, it has been stated often, that LDS wants an experienced former HC.

In addition, it has been rumored that Schottenheimer and LDS regretted their initial breakup.


In addition, the B&G were better off during the short year under Marty, than the following year under OBC.

No one that I know really wanted to see Marty gone after that one single year, either.

No one would question Marty's NFL coaching record with da-bolts, only his continued shortcomings in the Division championship. How soon we forget that da-bolts were right there in Foxboro two years ago, playing in the championship game, and had a dominating team last year as well.

Further, with Schotty, count on Cam Cameron coming in as OC.
